Re: Pointer suggestion

Hello Tom,

Without looking up the maximums for arrays, I think this could be handled by a variable-sized array, but it sounds to me like this is more of a candidate for a user space. You could structure a user space to contain first the number of records being returned, then the records at the fixed length in the same structure as an array.

Then you can get your records one at a time from the user space using the APIs.

I see the point about using an array since it is passed by reference rather
then value. But I was thinking more along the lines of the amount of data
that can be passed to a variable. I believe the max size would be around
32k. The record length I will be using is around 250. If I need to return
say 500 records, that would put me way beyond that variable size limit. Does
using pointers allow me to access a greater amount of data?
